“Those celebrities and academics fleeing Trump’s ‘far right’ US betray a total ignorance of history”.

However that doesn’t nullify the long history of fascist and Nazi supporting organisations in the United States:

The origins of fascism in the United States date back to the late 19th century with the passage of Jim Crow laws in the American South, the rise of the eugenicist discourse in the U.S., and the intensification of nativist and xenophobic hostility towards immigrants. During the early 20th century, several groups were formed in the United States that contemporary historians have classified as fascist organizations – with a prominent example being the Ku Klux Klan.

In the 1930s the American Nazi party–or the German American Bund as they called themselves–grew to disturbing levels. Not only did they have rallies, they filled Madison Square Garden. At that time Madison Square Garden was the ultimate place in the country to have an event, be it a sporting event or any other kind of large gathering. Numerous American political parties held conventions and rallies there over the years.
